In the blink of an eye, January has passed, and it is almost midwinter, and the heavy snow in the northwest border has closed the mountain, and Li Deyi no longer follows Dr. Xiao Liu to the mountain to collect medicine. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info is still learning words and practicing knives every day. By now, Li Deyi had recognized two or three hundred words, and he could barely read books by himself, so Dr. Liu began to teach him some first-aid skills in the army. Today's study is the "Sanitary Regulations of the Wounded Barracks and First Aid in the Army" compiled by Taizu, the founder of the Ping Zhou Dynasty. This book is written in an easy-to-understand manner, the whole article is in the vernacular, and there are no obscure words, which is very suitable for beginners like Li Deyi. Originally, this book was written for the old rough people in the army, and the writing was too complicated, how could these soldiers understand it.

The medicines collected in the past few days have to be processed before they can be used, and Li Deyi can't get involved in this work, so he can only help fetch water, brush the pot, and do some hard work. Medical Officer Xiao Liu's eyes were red every day for the sake of medicine, but Old Medical Officer Sun was the shopkeeper, letting the little apprentice do his work, and he didn't interfere.

After these few months, Li Deyi slowly got acquainted with Dr. Xiao Liu, and also knew some things. Medical Officer Xiao Liu was originally abducted by a kidnapper, and when he arrived in the border town, he planned to sell it, but by chance, he was met by Old Medical Officer Sun and rescued. Since then, he has followed the old medical officer Sun, apprenticed to his teacher, and learned art. According to Dr. Xiao Liu, he was only three years old when he was abducted, and he didn't remember anything, so he didn't know where he was from, and he would only keep crying: "Liu, Liu." So the old doctor Sun gave him the surname Liu, and now he is eighteen years old, and he has followed the old doctor Sun for fifteen years.

Li Deyi occasionally curiously asked what Doctor Liu had learned from Grandpa Sun, and whenever this happened, Doctor Liu always spread his hands, "Well, I only learned some kung fu in my hands." After talking too much, Li Deyi also let go, and occasionally quipped: "Brother Xiao Liu is so powerful, he often speaks dumbly to the master, is this also learned from Grandpa Sun?" Doctor Liu would reach out and grab Li Deyi's ear, and Li Deyi, who was in pain, kept sighing, "I also learned from the master how to pull my ears, right?" The master can make a big man like Wang Zhuangbiao honest. Although I am not good at learning, it is more than enough to pluck your ears. Do you dare to make fun of me in the future? Li Deyi hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, I don't dare anymore." ”

When Li Deyi was grabbed by the ear for the first time, he didn't know how powerful it was, and he gritted his teeth and pretended to be a hero. When Dr. Xiao Liu saw that he was actually a tough guy, he laughed: "Okay, well, pretend to be a good man with me, and let you know how powerful this kung fu is." As he spoke, with a hard hand in his hand, Li Deyi suddenly felt an unbearable pain rushing from the root of his ear to the door of his head, and he was dizzy and dizzy for a while, and his whole body was weak, and he was pulled by Dr. Liu's ears and turned around the camp three times.

After that, Li Deyi realized that this was real kung fu, and when he knew that it was powerful, he began to beg for mercy. Medical Officer Xiao Liu sneered: "Hmph, let you know what tricks I learned from Master." After speaking, he let go of his hand and let go of Li Deyi. Li Deyi covered his ears and hid to the side, grinning and rubbing, rubbing and rubbing, and it took a long time to recover.

In the end, it was a child who grew up in the mountains, the skin was tight, and after a while, Li Deyi approached Dr. Xiao Liu again, "Brother Xiao Liu, your hand is so powerful, can you teach me?" ”

"Do you know how I did it?" Doctor Liu showed a malicious smile on his face, and Li Deyi didn't know what to do, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Huh?" How did you learn it? Teach me. "When I was learning art from Master, as soon as I was slack, I was rectified by Master like this, and the more times I was rectified, it gradually became better." After speaking, Xiao Liu Medical Officer stared at Li Deyi and hehehe.

Li Deyi reacted at this time, and hurriedly shook his head: "I don't learn, I don't learn." "Don't learn?! It's late! If you don't learn, you have to learn, Master taught you to me, I missed this stunt today for you to know, and sooner or later you will have to learn it. Hahaha...... "Dr. Liu kept laughing, and finally laughed directly on the table. Li Deyi hurriedly covered his ears with his hands and hid to the side of the table.

The two of them were laughing, and a soldier came outside the tent to give orders for the two to go to the staff camp.

The two entered the big tent of the staff camp, and the old medical officer Sun was talking about the latest news from Beijing, "Sure enough, as you expected, the important ministers of the court finally put out a pawn as a substitute for the dead ghost, and it was a military squire named Chen Chengque, and he made him the chief envoy of the peace negotiation." ”

Li said angrily: "This Chen Chengque is really as good as his name, and the news says that he actually put the content of the peace proposal on the book at home, and was regarded as a military newspaper by the little servant, and it was sent to all military towns. The matter was leaked, and the ministers of the world were in an uproar, but as a result, this bureaucrat was so shameless that he actually boasted of his merits. Now I heard that this official has been sent to prison and sentenced to beheading. ”

Mr. Han said with a disdainful face: "It's just a dead ghost, sooner or later it will be a death." Old Medical Officer Sun nodded, "I heard that there are storytellers in Beijing who have begun to say that Taizu went to the meeting alone and shocked the ugly people in the north alone. I am afraid that it is ironic to use the past and the present to satirize the incompetence of today's sons, corrupt the foundation of the ancestors, and be forced to sign an alliance with the Tuliao people under the city. ”

Mr. Qian interjected: "I also heard that this time this Chen Cheng Que Chen Zheng envoy went to the meeting alone, but because the two deputy envoys who accompanied him were paralyzed in fright at the gate of the Tuliao camp, and refused to enter the Tuliao camp at a single step. Chen Chengque also peed his pants on the spot, and the Tuliao people had no choice but to carry Chen Chengque into the camp alone. Such ugly things can be spread to our small county in Dingbei, which shows how much people in the world hate this Chen Shilang. ”

"Speaking of ugly things, isn't it the same ugly today. It is said that after Chen Chengque returned from the Tuliao camp, the Son of Heaven was afraid of losing too much silver, so he didn't dare to ask directly, so he actually sent a eunuch to ask Chen Chengque about the amount of silver. Chen Chengque didn't dare to make a loud noise, and only stretched out three fingers. When the eunuch went back, he reported to the Son of Heaven that he was paying 30 million taels of silver, and when the Son of Heaven heard this, he rolled down from the imperial couch on the spot, and said straight in his mouth: 'It's too much, it's too much, Chen Chengque deserves to die.' In the end, Chen Chengque was summoned to enter the palace alone to face the saint, and the Son of Heaven split his head with a sentence: 'Lose 30 million taels of silver, you are guilty!' Chen Chengque hurriedly replied: "The agreement between the minister and the Tuliao people is three million taels. The Son of Heaven changed his words on the spot and praised Chen Chengque for his great merit and for being a capable minister. As he spoke, Old Medical Officer Sun was angry again, "The courtiers have returned from negotiation, this is a major matter related to the common people in the world, and it is the vital moment of life and death for the imperial court. The Son of Heaven didn't ask about cutting the land, and he didn't ask about the ministers, but he actually asked how much money he paid first. Could it be that my dynasty has been inherited for 600 years, and the Jiangshan Sheji laid down by my ancestors is not as important as three million taels of silver?! ”

Mr. Li sighed, "Wait and see, it won't be long before everyone in the world will know the content of this peace proposal, and I'm afraid the world will shake when the time comes." ”

The four of them were deliberating, and a soldier's voice came from outside the door: "Report the general, the latest military information." The six people in the camp tent immediately stared at the door, and Medical Officer Xiao Liu took a few steps and took the military report.

"Apprentice, you can read it by the way."

Medical Officer Xiao Liu quickly glanced at it a few times and said: "The Tuliao people broke the vanguard general Xiao Tzu Rin under the Zhongshen City, and I stabbed him to death by shooting a young general named Ran Tuhu into the formation, and it was this young general who snatched back the head of Wang Shao's privy secret. After the snow was in danger, the food and grass were in danger, so I had to send my general Wang Jizhong to gallop back and forth in front of the battle, saying that the Tuliao people intended to negotiate peace. Later, it was also this person who communicated with me and ran for the discussion. ”

"Hey, the princes of the court and the central government are really incompetent, the Tuliao people are tired from afar, and the siege of the city for more than two months has already frustrated the vanguard general's heart, and the first snow of winter has come early this year. The time and place are all in my favor, but the princes of the court and the central government are fighting endlessly, and they have lost a great opportunity to defeat the Tuliao people in vain. After Li Jiangzong said this, he rubbed his temples tiredly, his eyes were bloodshot, he had just recovered from his serious injuries, and the military reports one after another these days had exhausted his spiritual energy.

Han Jiang said loudly: "Hmph, since he ascended the throne today, he has blindly reused Wenchen. As a result, these civil servants are all straw bales who are insiders in internal fighting and outsiders in foreign wars. When today's son always thought about Yang Wen and suppressed martial arts, he didn't expect to be slapped by the Tuliao people in a big mouth. As he spoke, he slapped the table and shouted, "Happy!" ”

Old Doctor Sun slowly analyzed: "Such a great opportunity has been let go in vain, and it seems that today is planning to be safe for a while." It seems that a few days ago, he connived at the ministers who advocated peace to fabricate charges and frame General Zhong, but he was afraid that General Zhong would oppose the peace negotiations because he was afraid that General Zhong would take advantage of the city's merits to oppose the peace talks. ”

Qian Zong followed and said: "Ran Tuhu can stab the general of Tuliao to death in the formation of ten thousand troops, and he is indeed brave. There is such a fierce general, but he hides it without using it, and His Majesty's intention is obvious. ”

Old Medical Officer Sun worriedly continued to analyze everyone: "The Tuliao people are already at the end of their crossbow at this time, but our dynasty has let them return with all their divisions. After this battle, the Tuliao people have figured out all the combat strength of our DPRK, so I am afraid that the catastrophe will not be far away. Tuliao barbarians have always had wolf ambitions, and this time they have already seen the prosperity of the Central Plains and tasted the sweetness, I am afraid that they will not retreat so simply if they come again. It's hateful that my Son of Heaven actually made a brother with the king of Yidi in the peace treaty, and recognized the Empress Dowager Liaoxiao as his uncle, hateful and shameful. Speaking of this, the old doctor Sun was furious, and his heart and lungs were hurt by his sorrow for days, and he broke out with an earth-shattering cough.

Medical Officer Xiao Liu hurriedly went up to support the master, and took out a pill for the master to take. After the old doctor Sun took the pill, he stopped talking and sat on the stool with his eyes closed. Everyone looked at each other, waiting to hear what was going on, and Doctor Liu had no choice but to follow Master's words and say, "If today's son deceives himself and only wants to be safe, he will definitely not have the heart to train soldiers and strengthen armaments." The important ministers of the DPRK and China are all shameless people who can only intrigue and fight, and they will not take the initiative to strengthen their armaments, in case we vulgar warriors have the opportunity to fight back. Even if one or two loyal ministers see that the situation is critical, they will be suppressed by those flattering ministers who sing about peace all day long. This time, the Son of Heaven openly violated the ancestral teachings and signed this alliance under the city, which made the world shake. Now there are strong captives outside, and the people in the world are in turmoil inside, and the situation in the Ping Zhou Dynasty can be said to be overwhelming, and I am afraid that the world is about to be in chaos. ”

Mr. Li sighed and said: "At the beginning of the founding of the country, the Taizu of this dynasty once said that the world must be divided for a long time, and it must be divided for a long time. I didn't think it would be now, but I don't know how long I can be stable? When he had said this, the people in the tent fell into deep thought, and could no longer speak.

This winter has been extremely depressing, and the three generals of the Weibei battalion have a cold face all day long, so that the soldiers below dare not breathe. Slowly, the ugliness of Chen Cymbal's peace negotiation also reached the ears of the soldiers, and the soldiers who fought bloodily with the Tuliao people and defended their homes scolded one by one. Some soldiers don't know how to scold, so they take advantage of the winter break to go to the county seat to listen to the storytelling, and listen to the story of the grandfather going to the meeting alone.

In winter, the weather in the north is too cold, training is reduced, and the soldiers are uncomfortable. Slowly, a game arose in the Weibei camp, and I don't know which good soldier pioneered it. But it is to be alone with only a knife, into the Qingyuan Mountains to stay for a whole day, whoever gets more prey, who can enjoy a jar of "Erguotou" wine that is rumored to be brewed in accordance with the wine-making method created by Taizu himself. It is said that this wine was invented by Taizu back then, and it was exclusively used in the army, but only high-ranking officers had the opportunity to enjoy it, and it was rare for ordinary soldiers to see it. The highest official in the Weibei camp is just a general, and he can get this kind of wine thanks to the Cao Qianzong who escaped, and the gentleman pulled a truckload from home when he took office, and now others are running too fast and leaving a lot of good things, and this wine is naturally cheaper than the brothers in the Weibei camp.

The three of them each kept some of this wine and gave some to Sun Junshi, and the rest was all rewarded to the soldiers who performed well. In the army, it is forbidden to drink alcohol according to the law, but at this point, no one takes it seriously, and as long as you don't drink too much, no one will punish you.

Later, this game became popular among the soldiers of the Weibei Battalion, and I don't know who gave it a name, so it was called "Going to the Meeting with a Single Knife".

On this day, Li Deyi was quietly learning to read in the tent, when he suddenly heard someone outside shouting: "Doctor Liu, come and save people." Li Deyi got up and rushed out, and when he went out, he saw that a soldier covered in blood was carried over. Followed by a few people carrying a dead wild boar, this wild boar is really not small, not to mention three hundred pounds, the wild boar's head was carved with a knife "Chen" word, bloody.

Doctor Xiao Liu also hurried over, and asked with an annoyed face, "Why did you get injured like this?!" The wounded soldier, who had been carried over, opened his mouth with difficulty, and said weakly, "It's worth it to kill this beast and give everyone a drink!" With that, he fainted again, but with a smile on his face.

Medical Officer Xiao Liu hurriedly beckoned Li Deyi to come over to help save people, first cleaned the wound with spirits, then checked the wound for foreign bodies, cleaned it up, and then pressed on the hemostatic scatter and bandaged. On a cold day, the little brothers were busy and sweating profusely. The person was finally saved, and as long as the bleeding stopped, this kind of trauma would not be a big problem. The only trouble is that this soldier was arched by a wild boar and broke several ribs, but this man is also fatal, such a fierce fight, although the ribs are broken, but they are not in place, in case the ribs are dislocated, piercing the viscera, it will be difficult for the gods to save.

This matter was later known by Wang Da Fat, and Wang Zhuangbiao directly picked up the extra-large kitchen knife he usually used and went to Qingyuan Mountain. The next evening, he carried back a dying black blind man by himself. As soon as they entered the camp gate, the soldiers of the entire Weibei battalion were in a sensation and surrounded them.

A seasoned soldier saw the doorway, and said in a lost voice: "Look at this black blind man, there is no blood flowing out of his body, and he doesn't even have a mouth, isn't he beaten to death by Wang Da Fat Man with his fist?" "Look at this amount, I'm afraid it can't be more than 500 catties, Wang Da Fat is okay." "Look at this black blind man, he is as tall as the big fat man." There is also the one who promotes narrowness, "Who do you say is heavier, the big fat man or the black blind man?" But he was stunned by the people around him.

Wang Da Fat Man carried the black blind man who was beaten to death by himself with his fist to the gate of the Huotou camp, threw it to the ground, patted the ashes on his body, and turned his head to shout loudly to the soldiers who surrounded him: "This black blind man was sleeping in the cave when he was found by the Sprinkle family, and the Sprinkler family couldn't bear to sneak attack and bully this beast, so he woke it up first, and then punched it three times according to the door of the head. Tonight for the brethren! He flashed his fist as he spoke, and there was a piece of black fur stuck to it. The Sprinkle family gave this black blind man a name, called Chen Cymbal, and now the Sa family plucked the skin of this Chen Cymbal, dug out their hearts and guts, and invited everyone to eat meat. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out the oversized kitchen knife from behind his back and began to work neatly. This knife went down, and directly broke the bear's belly, and the bear's blood sprayed all over his face. The big fat man didn't raise his head, reached out to touch the blood on his face, and continued to pick up the black blind man.

That night, the thousands of people in Weibei camping ate a beautiful meal of bear meat, and when they ate it, everyone said that the meat of this 'Chen cymbal' was really fragrant.

Wang Da Fat Man packed up the bear skin overnight, cut off the skin of his limbs and kept it for the old doctor Sun to make waist and knee pads, and the rest of the whole skin was kept for the old military master Sun to make the bed.

That night, the old doctor Sun and the three generals drank wine, gathered around the bonfire, and ate bear paws. Old Medical Officer Sun was happy today, and the wine was a little high, and he came up with energy, and said loudly: "Such shameless traitors who are at peace with thieves, we and other warriors in the army hate to eat their flesh and sleep on their skins. The three of them always responded in unison.

After the old doctor Sun said this, he was silent for a while, and at the end, he sighed and said: "This surnamed Chen is just a scapegoat that has been thrown out, and those important ministers who advocate peace behind him are safe and sound today. They are probably enjoying this 'peaceful and prosperous world' with peace of mind now, and they don't know if the bones of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians who died in the battle in Zhongshen City are cold. ”

Medical Officer Xiao Liu couldn't help but interject next to him: "But I don't know how long it will be peaceful, three years?" Five years? When the time comes, you will not be able to escape the annihilation of a dead family, and the country will be ruined. ”

Li Jiang nodded again and again: "Let this generation be arrogant for a while, the way of heaven is good, the retribution is not happy, the blood of these hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians will not be shed in vain, the Tuliao people, when today, the ministers of the court and the central government, none of them can run, sooner or later someone will calculate this blood debt with them." ”

Qian spit out the bones in his mouth with a mouthful, "Hundreds of thousands of people died in Zhongshen City, as well as the cities and villages that were attacked along the road. The Tuliao people have always had a tradition of slaughtering cities, and all men who are taller than the wheels will be killed. The Tuliao people besieged the Beijing division this time, and even broke through the North Gate Pass, the Dasan Pass, and the three key passes of the Remnant Yang Pass, and the northern border to the hinterland of Zhongshen City, I eroded thousands of miles in the Zhou Dynasty, and the people along the way were killed and injured countless times. ”

Li Deyi didn't say anything, he ate happily in his mouth, sat there and listened carefully to the conversation of several people with his ears, his expression was extremely serious, as if he was trying to remember something.

The dark clouds cover the top, and this gloomy cloud condenses for dozens of days. The Tuliao people under the Zhongshen City finally retreated, and after paying the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, they finally held the Zhongshen City. Nowadays, almost every family in Zhongshen City is plain, and the sound of crying and mourning resounded throughout the sky, penetrating through the palace. However, Cai Taishi, Qian Shuiliang, Jia Wudao, Tong Maicheng and other important ministers did not have any casualties in their families. When the Tuliao people were in a hurry to attack the city, these people arranged their generals at home, in case the Tuliao people broke the city, so as to protect themselves and rush out and flee south.

Although there were no family casualties at that time, the families of these important ministers were also busy, busy moving the gold and silver treasures that had been loaded into the carriage back to the basement of the house. The pro-soldiers were tired and sweating profusely, but several important ministers were still not at ease, so they all went into the basement in person and checked the account books box by box.

Only Han Weiqi and Han Xianggong's family made a small mourning hall, not to commemorate the dead generals, but when Han Xianggong arranged for his chief butler to go to the city wall to inquire about the military situation, he was accidentally hit by the Tuliao people, was shot through the eye, and died on the spot.

In the palace, when today's son suddenly felt a flustered in his heart recently, he sent his close attendants to the cabinet to invite the prime minister on duty to come and discuss. After a while, the close attendant came to report that there was no prime minister on duty in the cabinet. The Son of Heaven sent his servants to the prime minister's house to announce the decree, and after half a ring, the servants came to report: "Now that the Tuliao people have just retreated, the people in the city are in a panic, and several Zaifu are placing the people in various parts of the city to rectify the Beijing Division." At this time, he should appease the people and refuse to accept the order to enter the palace. ”

The Son of Heaven sighed: "They are all my humerus ministers, and everything comes first to the country." ”

Later, some good deeds ridiculed him, "The city is full of flies and dogs, and they still say that they are loyal." ”

In the Weibei camp, the old medical officer Sun called Li Deyi to the front and took out a one-foot-long stainless steel short knife, the scabbard was made of fine cowhide. "Well, take this knife and go to the woods by yourself for three days. I don't want you to hunt anything, just come back alive. ”

Li Deyi looked at this short knife, it was exactly the same as the knife buried next to the third grandfather, but it was better maintained, and the knife was also wrapped in silk. Li Deyi asked, "Can you bring food into the mountains?" "No, only this knife is allowed. You can wear more clothes so that you don't freeze. Li nodded a little and went back to prepare in silence.

Seeing that Li De was leaving, Doctor Xiao Liu flashed out from the side, "Is it necessary, he is only ten years old." "The Tuliao don't give us much time. Don't worry, I secretly sent the big fat man to protect him. ”

In the evening of the same day, Li Deyi had a full meal, took the knife, and went into the mountains alone.
